Hello. I'm Ben Shires and welcome to officially amazing. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
The coolest look at the wacky world of records | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
and record-makers that will leave you gasping in disbelief. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Today, we've got an extravagant array of Guinness World Records | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
and record attempts, including... | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Our resident record-hungry student, Sizzlin' Steve, is launching | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
ping-pong balls around his kitchen | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
in a bid for record-breaking glory... | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
..I meet a woman getting undressed as fast as possible to try | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
and get into the record books... | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
..Haruka's in Japan giving her lungs a work-out... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
..and Al finds out why this frothy-mouthed record holder | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
doesn't have the hump about serving his country. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
But before any of that brilliance, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
let's meet a man with zero fear in... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
EXPLOSION | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
COUGHING | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
I'm here in North Carolina in the USA where today | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
it's all about record-breaking on two-wheeled speed machines. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
This is Jesse Toler, one of the best motorcycle stunt riders | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
on the planet. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
He puts on shows and takes part in competitions all over the world. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
But today will be a severe test even for a man with his talents | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
as he sets out to try and break not one, but two, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Guinness World Records involving one particular motorbiking stunt. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
No, not this, or this, but this. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
A stoppie. What is a stoppie? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
A stoppie is actually when you accelerate really fast and then you | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
rely on nothing but your front brakes to lift the bike | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
onto the front wheel and then carry that as far as possible. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-So it's basically a front wheelie, really. -Exactly. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-A lot of people call it a front wheelie or nose wheelie. -OK. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
I definitely wouldn't try it. Sounds WHEELIE painful to me! | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Just like that joke. And also plain dangerous too. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
So don't try this anywhere, ever. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
So, what is Jesse's first stoppie world record attempt going to be? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
The highest rate of speed travelled on the front wheel. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
That's the fun one. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
Jesse has set himself a very fast target. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
He wants to perform a stoppie while travelling at 150mph. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
This record attempt is so dangerous because | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
if Jesse brakes too hard, he'll go headfirst over the handlebars. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
He loves breaking records which is why he's often breaking bones. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
My medical record is extensive. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
In a nutshell, two ankles, a leg, a femur, two shoulders. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
Collarbone. Six ribs, eight fingers, seven toes. 13 concussions. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
Despite all the injuries, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Jesse just can't stoppie which is probably why his mum's worried sick. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
It's very scary if you're a mother. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
In fact, she's so worried, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
she's sticking as close as possible to that ambulance. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Don't let your child do this. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
It's very, very hard. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
BIKE STARTS UP | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Good job. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
To get up to that maximum speed of 150mph and then balance on | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
that front wheel, Jesse will need to start from way back in the car park. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
Even though this track looks ridiculously long, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
150mph goes away pretty fast. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
I'm only going to have about 700 feet at the end of the track | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
to stop, after all this. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
So hopefully I don't run off into the gravel and get all messed up. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
You'll be fine, Jesse, they've put cones out! | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
This is it. Can he do it? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
OK, here we go. Record attempt time. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Wow, that looks fast. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
But the speed gun will tell us just how fast he was going | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
when he did this. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
Incredible! That's 145mph. Amazing! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
So, Jesse's already set a new record but he really wants to hit | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
that 150 target, so he's going to flirt with danger one more time. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
Here he comes again. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-Oh, surely that must have been quicker. -150. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
It was. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
He hit that target of 150mph and he's done it. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-That's a new Guinness World Record. -Not bad! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
Mum's delighted that he's still in one piece but Jesse's not done yet. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-He'll be back later... -Let's make this record, here he comes! | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
..to try and set another world record for the longest stoppie. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
But, first, prepare to be completely weirded out with Al in... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-Uh-oh. -Hah! | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
'Meet Ilker Yilmaz from Turkey who's about to attempt to | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
'create a Guinness World Record by extinguishing five candles | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
'with some milk in a very weird way. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
'Will he squirt milk from his eyes? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
'Spit milk from his mouth? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
'Or shoot milk from his ears? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
'Look away now if you're squeamish because it's pretty gross. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
'Well, here's your answer. eyes it is. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
'We don't know what his special technique is and, frankly, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
'we don't want to know as we never want to try it. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
'Just be sure you use milk for cereal and milkshakes and not for this. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
'This is actually happening. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
'You're watching a grown man trying to set a new world record for | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
'the quickest time to extinguish five candles with milk | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
'squirted from the eye.' | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
DING! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
'I'm pretty sure I've never said that sentence before.' | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
DING! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
'So that's two candles out. He is actually good this. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
'That's three candles extinguished but he actually looks in pain. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
'It's almost as if his eyes weren't designed to be | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
'milky water pistols(!) Go figure! | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
'By the way, an anagram of this man's name, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
'Ilker Yilmaz is... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
'Just thought you might like to know that. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
'He's done it. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
'Two minutes, seven seconds to extinguish | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
'five candles by squirting milk from your eye.' | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
CHEERING | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
'All right. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
'Now he's just milking it. Anyway, time for me to show you something...' | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
FANFARE Whaargh! | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
'Here in America, as well as police officers we have local sheriffs. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
'They've got the car with flashing lights, the hat, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
'the sunglasses, the badge, the hooves, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
'the fur coat, the big hairy nose. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
'Now I know what you'd say, Ben. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
MIMICS BEN: 'Cor blimey, Al Jackson, you're taking the mickey. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
'Nobody would make a camel a copper!' | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-BEN: -'Not with that dodgy accent I wouldn't.' | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Meet Deputy Sheriff Bert. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
He is officially a camel of the law. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
FANFARE | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
-"BERT" IN AMERICAN ACCENT: -Sir, please remove your hand | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
and step away from the vehi-cle. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
And by vehi-cle, I mean me. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
'Camel cops do seem a bit strange, even for you Americans is. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
BERT BELLOWS | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
'Bert is not strange, he's a brilliant record holder. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
'He just didn't have time to brush his teeth this morning. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
'Bert stands for... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
'He has the record | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
'or the highest-ranking position in law enforcement held by a camel. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-'His official title is Deputy Sheriff. -Hang on. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
'So let me get this straight. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
'Bert is the only crime-fighting camel in the world? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
'Actually, he visits schools and talks to the kids. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
'So, technically, it's more about preventing crime than fighting it. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
'But how do you really know? You haven't asked my questions. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
'What? I thought that was a joke. Are you serious? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
'Totally. I've seen Chief Wiggum in The Simpsons, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
'so I know loads about the police over there but not police camels. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
'Now, ask the questions. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
'Oh, all right. I'll ask Bert's partner, Nancy, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
'seeing as camels can't talk.' | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
-Say what? -Can Bert arrest anyone? -No, he doesn't have arrest powers. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:34 | |
That's not in his job description. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-Does he have a sheriff's hat? -'It's a fair question.' -No, no, no. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
-Is this guy for real? -I have to ask this. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
In a high-speed chase, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
does he prefer to drive or does he prefer to be the passenger? | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-Er, he'd be the driver. -OK. Well, there you have it. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-Those questions are officially stupid. -'What?!' | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
But that doesn't Bert any less officially amazing. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
'He might not wear a hat or drive in high-speed chases | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
'but Bert is still pretty unique. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
'And you English are supposed to be the eccentric ones. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
'Oh, we are, Al. We just do it in a more formal way.' | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
Here in Britain, we have an animal that ranks even higher. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
In fact, so important is he | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
that I'm dressed in my very best in order to meet him. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
He's a knight and he goes by the name of Sir Nils Olav. Toot-toot! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
'And this is him. He lives in Britain and, yes, he's a penguin. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
'But he is no ordinary bird. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
'Sir Nils Olav here holds the record for being the highest-ranking | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
-'penguin. -But that's just silly. At least Bert has an actual job. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-'Your guy is just wandering around the zoo eating fish. -How dare you! | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
'I'll have you know that Nils Olav was adopted by | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
'the Norwegian King's Guard in 1972. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
'He served in the army as official mascot. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-'A penguin? In the army?! -Yes, Al. Pay ATTENTION! | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
'And in 2008, after 36 years of uninterrupted service, | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
'if you ignore the bit where he died | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
'and was replaced by another penguin, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
'Nils Olav became Sir Nils Olav - | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
'the King of Norway himself said that Nils was a penguin... ' | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
..in every way qualified | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
'And this is what some of his loyal subjects think of him.' | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
OK, guys, give me the skinny while he's not listening. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-What do you really think of Sir Nils Olav? -He is a jolly nice chap. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-Doesn't suffer fools gladly. -Very much black and white. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
May I just say that it is lovely to meet you, Sir Nils Olav. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
-Yes, it must be. -If I could just ask a few questions. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-How does it feel to be a knight? -Well, I don't know. Um, I like it. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
-Yes, yes, yes. -And can I ask what's your favourite food? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
-Herring. -Surely it should be iceberg-er? -No, no, no. Listen. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
-It's definitely herring. -OK. OK. -I'll be done? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
-Sir Nils, thank you ever so much. -Thank goodness that's over. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
Commoner. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
It's not every day you find yourself in the presence of such | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
a distinguished bird. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
Sir Nils is not only a knight but is also officially amazing. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
And get this. He even gave me a gift. A herring. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
Great! Just what I wanted. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
Mmm... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:16 | |
'I don't know why he likes them so much. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
'It tasted awful and I was coughing up herring bones for days. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
'Anyway, over to Haruka for...' | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Aiiiee-yah! | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
CRUNCH! CLATTER! | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
Weurgh... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
'This is FujiQ Amusement Park in the shadow of Mount Fuji.' | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
And this roller coaster is the reason why I've come here today. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
'Its name - Takabisha - which means "high-flying car" in Japanese. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
'I wonder why(?) | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
'Somehow I've stupidly agreed to ride it | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
'so I can experience its world-record-holding drop. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
'Nothing like the sound of other people screaming | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
'to really calm the nerves.' | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
SCREAMING | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
I'm really scared. Oh... | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
SCREAMING | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
'The time has come! | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
'I should have asked for a sick bag.' | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
'Haruka is too busy screaming but she's meant to be telling you | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
'that this roller coaster travels at up to 60mph. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
'Oh, and we told her this was the gentle bit. Whoopsy.' | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
OK, OK, OK. Now, the scariest part is coming up. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
It's the record-breaking ride because it has the steepest, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
vertical drop and it is 121 degrees! | 0:12:43 | 0:12:49 | |
HARUKA SCREAMS | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
'When I get to the top, that record-breaking drop awaits me. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
'The reason this is the world's steepest roller coaster | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
'is because during the drop you actually go back in on yourself | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
'as do your insides. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:04 | |
'It's a lovely view of Mount Fuji at the top, | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
'not that I can really appreciate it right now.' | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
SHE SCREAMS AND WHIMPERS | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
No way! No... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
SCREAMING | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
'It's just getting embarrassing now. Did I really scream that much? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
'I think it's fair to say the best thing about this roller coaster | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
'is that it only lasts two minutes.' | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
It was this much fun and this much scary. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
No... SCREAMING | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
It's the officially amazing ride in the world. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
No... SCREAMING | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
Next... | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
CRUNCHING | 0:13:45 | 0:13:46 | |
Thwrrpt! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
COW MOOS | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
'This is Steve - Sizzlin' Steve to you and me. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
'Before you go thinking he looks like your average | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
'kind of guy, you're wrong. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
'He's a record-breaking demon and he does all his attempts from here - | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
'record-breaking HQ, otherwise known as his student flat in Portsmouth. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
'And what's more, they're Guinness World Records that you - yes, you - | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
'can try to. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
'So what has Steve got for me today, I wonder?' | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Ho-ho! Look at this, it's Sizzlin' Steve, literally sizzling. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
You couldn't make this stuff up. Steve, what's the record? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
It's for the most ping-pong balls | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
bounced into a pint glass in one minute. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
Is that it? That sounds pretty easy to me. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-'Uh-oh, I think I've upset the Sizzler.' -The record is five. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
'Well, that's told me. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
'So Steve will be aiming to bounce more than | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
'five balls into a pint glass. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
'Those sausages will have to wait, there are records to be attempted.' | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
-Steve, are you feeling good? -I am. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
'Official adjudicator Claire is ready to time the attempt, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
'keep count of the balls | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
'and make sure Steve is sizzling within the rules.' | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Claire, what does Steve have to focus on | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
in order to get this record? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
There's two things, Steve. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
First of all, the balls must bounce once before they go that glass. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Number two, you must be standing behind this line at all times. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
If you cross over that line, the attempt is immediately disqualified. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
You have one minute. The record to beat is five. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Ping pong. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
'That's one in already. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
'Steve must be two metres from the glass otherwise | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
'he'll be disqualified.' Aim for the pint glass, Steve. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
That's the key. 'Steve is going for quantity over quality.' | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
Almost. Almost, Steve. Come on! | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
'And lobbing loads of balls | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
'in the vague hope that some will go in.' | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
Five, four, three, two, one. Time's up. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:40 | |
'Oh, no, devastation for the Sizzler. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
'Time is up and he's fluffed it, just two balls bounced in. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Stephen Sizzle! | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
'But all is not lost. He's going to give it another go. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
'And to help him get into the right frame of mind, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
'I think a bit of ping pong Zen time is in order. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
CHINESE FLUTES AND CHIMES | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
Ping and pong. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
And ping...and pong. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
And pong...and ping. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
'OK, that's quite enough of that. Back to the challenge.' | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
Three, two, one. Bounce! | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
It's already a quick start. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
'But there is some way to go to beat the record of five.' | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
It's all about working out angles in this game. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
And bouncing balls into cups. But mainly angles. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Oh! 'He's got two in now.' | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-Oh, ho-ho! -Three seconds. -Halfway there. Oh, that's four. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Change the glass! | 0:16:46 | 0:16:47 | |
The glass change is allowed, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
so Steve has room to bounce more balls in. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
Only one more to go and you've equalled the record. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
Two to break it. He is sizzling. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
'Oh, look at that!' | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Oh, Steve! | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
Come on, sizzle for me. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-Two. -'Ping pong precision!' | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
Steve! Steve! You sizzled and you fizzled. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
And look at that chin - it's a chisel. But did you get the record? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
I think he got six. Claire? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Well, Steve, the record you had to beat was five. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
You just achieved six in one minute. That's a new world record! | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
Congratulations, Sizzlin' Steve. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-How does it feel, sir? Look at that! -I'm over the moon. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
I didn't think I'd get that one, so I'm pleased with that. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
Congratulations. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
You are obviously officially amazing and, who knows, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
maybe someday you too will be officially amazing. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
Because you're never too young to get a record | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
and you're never too old either, as this next bunch all proved. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Let's get funky. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |

-# When you look at me -What do you see? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |

# Let me sing it loud | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
# OAP, it stands for old and proud | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
# Well, how brave are you? Would you bungee from on high? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
# This here is the oldest person to give that thing a try | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
# His name is Mohr Keet and he knew how to get his kicks | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
# Because he was still bungee jumping at the age of 96 | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
# Now everybody knows that you can travel in an aeroplane | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
# But Tom Lackey was 85 with ambition on the brain | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
# He stood up on the wing while a plane did a loop-the-loop | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
# Do you think when you're that old | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
# You will be quite so super duper? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
# Waaah! When you're over 65? | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-# Won't you tell me -What you're going to be? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |

# OAP, it stands for old and proud | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
# How would you feel about doing a really high abseil? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
# Well, Doris here was 98 but she was one cool female | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
# From 60 metres up she made it back down to the ground | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
# Is she the coolest old adventurous woman to be found? | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |

Well, I don't know about anyone else, | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
but I'm an OAP who needs a cup of tea. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Far too strenuous this bungee jumping...loop-the-looping... | 0:19:23 | 0:19:29 | |
I really should settle down. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
'Part two.' | 0:19:35 | 0:19:36 | |
SCREAMING | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
'Welcome back to North Carolina in America. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
'Earlier on, we saw Jesse Toler bag himself a new Guinness | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
'World Record doing this at a colossal 150mph. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
'But Jesse wants more so he's turned his attention from speed to | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
'distance, to see how far he can travel doing a stoppie. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
'Now, we've already seen that a motorbike stoppie | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
'is when you balance on the front wheel rather than the back. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
'And we know it's extremely dangerous and should never be tried. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
'To go far in this distance record, here's what Jesse needs to remember. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
'The stoppie starts when the rear wheel leaves the ground and ends | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
'when it touches back down again. Simple but dangerous. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
'For this record, Jesse needs to beat a distance of 873 feet which, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
'to us Brits, is around 266 metres. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
'For the benefit of an excitable crowd, Jesse beat this distance | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
'but only just. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
'The track here in front of the crowd is all chewed up | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
'by monster trucks and dragsters. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
'So Jesse did another attempt to try | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
'and go further on this smoother tarmac | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
'at the other end of the strip. Here's how he got on. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
'Look at that for blistering pace. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
'He touches the front brakes and he's up onto the front wheel, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
'but how long can he balance for? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
'He's sailed past the 266 metres target and he's still rolling. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:07 | |
'304 metres! He's absolutely smashed it and he's still going! | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
'He's going to run out of track at this rate. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
'Ooh, every centimetre counts.' | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
'I think that means he's happy. Incredible. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
'Let's get the official verdict from adjudicator Freddie.' | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
-It looked pretty far to me. Was it? -It was indeed. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
It was actually 1,320.3 feet. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
'Or, as we would say, 403 metres. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
'That's just over one lap of an athletics track, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
'all balancing on his front wheel.' | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
So Jesse Toler is now a double Guinness World Record holder. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-Congratulations. -Thank you. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Can we remove the sunglasses and get a bit of Jesse Toler emotion? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
This is special, just for you. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Look at that, the eyes of the champion. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Not just officially amazing but doubly officially amazing. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Two times. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
'Crikey, that's double world record holder Jesse Toler! | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
'So let's leave this sun-drenched speedway now | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
'and head to a dingy dungeon for...' | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
SNAP! | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
Ta-da! Ow! | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
Oh... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:35 | |
RATTLING CHAINS | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Hi! Excuse the limping back there. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
Picked up a few blisters off these chains. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
And if you're wondering why I'm wearing all this kind of clobber, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
it's because I'm about to meet | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
someone who is an expert in escapology. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
'This is Sofia Romero. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
'Escapology is the art of, well, escaping from things. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
'And today, Sofia will be taking on, or rather off, a straitjacket. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:07 | |
'OK, can I get a key now, please? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
'The straitjacket has been around since the 18th century | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
'and although it isn't used in the UK any more, it was designed to | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
'restrain dangerous patients and criminals and prevent them | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
'from being violent towards themselves and others. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
'The jackets has a strap that passes through the legs to stop | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
'the person wearing it simply slipping it off over their head. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
'There are buckles at the back and extra long sleeves are also | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
'tied behind the wearer, making it very difficult to escape. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
'Difficult but not impossible. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
'And this is why Sofia | 0:23:37 | 0:23:38 | |
'is already a world-record-holding escapologist.' | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
OK, Sofia, on my count, get yourself out of that straitjacket. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
Three, two, one, go! | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
CLOCK TICKS | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
BEN LAUGHS | 0:23:53 | 0:23:54 | |
That's under five seconds. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
'That was Sofia's demonstration of | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
'why she currently holds the world record | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
'for the fastest time to escape from a straitjacket at just 4.69 seconds. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
'Today, Sofia will need speed and stamina as she tries to get another | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
'Guinness World Record for the most | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
'straitjacket escapes in one hour. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
'And these are the rules.' | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
'And to get this new record, Sofia needs to escape at least 25 times.' | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
Right, well, the time has come. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
We've got Sofia and her assistant, Roger. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
I'm also joined by Manu, the official adjudicator. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
-If you are ready, do you want to do the counting? -Yes. OK, on my mark. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
Three, two, one, go. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
'We're off and running. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
'Assistant Roger secures the buckles at the back, the leg strap | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
'and the arms. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
'Adjudicator Manu checks it over.' | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
Go. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
'He's happy and Sofia attempts her first escape.' | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
There you go, it makes it look easy. That's the first one of the hour. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
'Here she goes again.' | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
Now, remember, the record is to get 25 escapes in an hour. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
Now, I reckon if I had 25 hours, I couldn't make one escape. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
'It may only take five seconds for Sofia | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
'to escape from the straitjacket but it takes almost a full minute | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
'to get her buckled back into it and checked to be ready to go again. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
'While Sofia carries on, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:25 | |
'let's have a rummage around in our old film box. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
'Have a look at this! | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
'Only the greatest and most famous escapologist of all time, | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
'Harry Houdini. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:34 | |
'Over 100 years ago, Houdini specialised in straitjacket escapes, | 0:25:34 | 0:25:39 | |
'though he often did so while suspended upside down from cranes | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
'and buildings. Look at that! | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
'Thankfully, Sofia has gone for a safer option to attempt | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
'this record. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
'But he's done it! Attaboy, Harry! | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
'So five minutes left on the clock, Sofia hasn't got long. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
'Can she get a new world record? | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
'I'd love to tell you how she does it | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
'but Sofia's technique is top secret. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
